The G7 was introduced 4 years later than the H55 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic G7 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H55 being a Compact camera.

Before diving through a in-depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the G7 scores versus the H55 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The photograph here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the G7 and H55.

Plainly, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G7 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Panasonic G7 will give you greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger G7 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
